Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the chicken wings in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the wings, ensuring they're evenly coated.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix well.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken wings and toss to coat each wing evenly.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the wings are crispy and cooked through, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
While the wings are baking, prepare the barbecue sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut aminos, honey, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Stir the sauce mixture well, bringing it to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Pour the prepared barbecue sauce over the wings, tossing them gently to ensure they're fully coated.
Serve the wings hot, garnished with fresh herbs or lemon wedges if desired.
